SNL50: The Homecoming Concert Trailer: Peacock Previews Live Event

Earlier this month, the word came down that SNL would be celebrating its 50th anniversary in a very big way – and we're not talking about the big primetime special set for Feb. 16th. Set for Feb. 14th (8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.) and hosted by Jimmy Fallon, SNL50: The Homecoming Concert features a lineup of chart-topping musical guests from across the decades, coming together to celebrate 50 years of SNL musical and comedy performances. An iconic lineup of musical artists will be joined by legendary Saturday Night Live Hall-of-Famers and surprise special guests – all under one roof: NYC's famed Radio City Music Hall. Now, we're getting a trailer for the event – set to stream live on Peacock in twelve days.

So, who can we expect to see take the stage? We're talking Arcade Fire, Backstreet Boys, Bad Bunny, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Brittany Howard, Chris Martin, David Byrne, DEVO, Eddie Vedder, Jack White, Jelly Roll, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Mumford & Sons, Post Malone, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Robyn, The B-52s, The Roots, and more to be announced. In addition, along with the concert event and the anniversary celebration, NBC is set to air the very first episode of SNL (with host George Carlin) on Saturday, February 15, from 10-11 p.m. ET/PT. Now, here's a look at the trailer
